Title: just wondering ..... (about RAN)
Post by: spanner on September 25, 2015, 02:18:46 PM: Just wondering if our OzSToc roadside emergency hot line has been used much.

Would be cool to know if it has come in handy for any one.

It sure has :wink1

But I will let those who have used it tell their stories if they choose, some may rather forget :p....

I used it,, well tried when my alternator KARRKED it completely... unfortunately everyone was on the same Far Ride so to no avail... but I was rescued the following morning by my nephew, who is willing to assiST others if/when needed.

ST2UP and Pockey and Sean kept my family up to date on my location and condition when I couldn't get to the phone due to a spine board and neck brace and Ambulance transports.

ST2UP and Pockey cut short their holiday to visit me in Tamworth hospital specifically to collect my gear so I didn't have to worry about it.

They have worked behind the scenes with the help of another fantastic member (Honk), to ensure the farkles from my bike will remain with me and have collected them at one location.

They are still working to arrange to get my gear and farkles transported from Guyra to my place in Brisbane.

RAN value to me is beyond valuation. ++ ++ ++ ++ :KissBlow

It's like insurance.
Puncture in Tassie, RAN provided a wealth of help and advice and got in in the right direction
